Thanks, Susan! That was driving me batty. I guess the "MIddletown Daily Times" was an evening paper. I started looking on the 17th instead. Doh! So, there SHOULD definitely be an obit given in the PJ paper on the 16th or 17th. I'll look for it when I get an opportunity to go there in the vague future. --- On Wed, 3/10/10, Susan Bennett-Perkowski <sbennettperkowski@gmail.com> wrote: From: Susan Bennett-Perkowski <sbennettperkowski@gmail.com> ...page 3 of the 16 Sep 1893 issue of the Middletown Daily Times with the artical concerning young Elias.   Sue
